MODULE 2: TEAM SPORTS (VOLLEYBALL)

INTRODUCTION
After going through with the previous module which tackled about the game of
Basketball, We will now move to our next lesson which is volleyball. Here we will familiarize our
self on how the game was invented, study the basic skills needed and in general the game itself.

OBJECTIVES:
This module is designed for you to:
1. trace the history of the game volleyball;
2. determine the skills needed in playing the game; and
3. familiarize yourself with rules and regulations of the game.

LESSON PROPER/DISCUSSION
Volleyball, game played by two teams, usually of six players on a side, in which the
players use their hands to bat a ball back and forth over a high net, trying to make the ball touch the
court within the opponents’ playing area before it can be returned. To prevent this a player on the
opposing team bats the ball up and toward a teammate before it touches the court surface—that
teammate may then volley it back across the net or bat it to a third teammate who volleys it across the
net. A team is allowed only three touches of the ball before it must be returned over the net.

History:

The game of volleyball, originally called “mintonette,” was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan
after the invention of basketball only four years before. Morgan, a graduate of the Springfield College
of the YMCA, designed the game to be a combination of basketball, baseball, tennis, and handball.

Morgan was keen for his sport to offer a less physically intense and demanding alternative to
Naismith’s basketball, one that would appeal to a far broader range of ages and physical abilities.
Describing his early experimentations, he said: “In search of an appropriate game, tennis occurred to
me, but this required rackets, balls, a net and other equipment, so it was eliminated, but the idea of a
net seemed a good one. We raised it to a height of about 6 feet, 6 inches [1.98 metres] from the
ground, just above the head of an average man. We needed a ball and among those we tried was a
basketball bladder, but this was too light and too slow. We therefore tried the basketball itself, which
was too big and heavy”.

It was not until 1900 that a specially designed ball - lighter and smaller - was devised, which opened
up a whole new range of tactical and technical possibilities for the sport. The offensive style of
setting and spiking was first showcased in 1916, in the Philippines. Over the years that followed the
rules of the sport were further refined and standardised. In 1917, the scoring system per game was
changed from 21 to 15 points, while in 1920 the rule stipulating a maximum of three hits per team
was instituted. Until the early 1930s volleyball was for the most part a game of leisure and recreation,
and there were only a few international activities and competitions. There were different rules of the
game in the various parts of the world; however, national championships were played in many
countries (for instance, in Eastern Europe where the level of play had reached a remarkable standard).
he sport took a huge step forward in 1947 with the creation of the Federation Internationale De
Volley-Ball (FIVB). Two years later the inaugural World Championships took place in Prague,
Czechoslovakia. Volleyball made its Olympic debut at Tokyo 1964, with the USSR taking men’s
gold and the host nation winning the women’s competition.
Beach volleyball, which had its origins on the beaches of California back in 1930, had to wait until
1996 for its inclusion on the Olympic programme, and it has helped take the global reach and
popularity of the sport to a new level.

How to play Volleyball :

 A player on one of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving the ball, from behind the back
boundary line of the court, over the net, and into the receiving team's court
 The receiving team must not let the ball be grounded within their court. They may touch the
ball as many as three times.
 The rally continues, with each team allowed as many as three consecutive touches
 The team that wins the rally is awarded a point, and serves the ball to start the next rally.
 The game continues, with the first team to score 25 points (and be two points ahead) awarded
the set. Matches are best-of-five sets and the fifth set (if necessary) is usually played to 15
points.
 The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can legally strike or push (short
contact) the ball with any part of the body.

Basic Skills:

1. Serve It is the attempt to drive the ball into the opponent's court There are 2 basic serve:
underhand serve and overhand serve

 How to Serve Underhand Serve First the player need to hold the ball with their non-
dominant hand, drop the ball slightly and finally hit the ball with the dominant hand.

 Overhand Serve First hold the ball with the non-dominant hand then toss the ball 2-3 feet in
front of the body and then hit it with the strong and hard surface of the dominant hand.

2. Pass is the ability to prevent the ball from touching one's court by bumping or passing the ball.
How to Pass First the player need to bend their knees for ready position. The player also needs to
make their forefingers perpendicular and thumbs are parallel to each other. Lastly when the ball is
coming, the player need to make sure that their arms are straight and hit the ball either by wrist and
arms.

3. Dig is the attempt by a team to properly handle the opponent's serve or any form of attack. How to
Dig Almost same as pass because it is both an attempt to receive ball properly, but unlike in pass, in
dig a player can use different parts of their bodies such as hands, foot, arms and sometimes legs just
to save the ball.

4. Set is a tactical skill in which a ball is directed to a point where a player can spike it in the
opponent's court. How to Set First a player need to make sure that their hand can accommodate the
shape of the ball then set or toss the ball above the head by pushing the ball and extending their arms.
*see link if you have access (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6FYi2TVm1I)
5. Spike An act of scoring the ball over the net into the opposing court effectively and aggressively.
How to Spike First the dominant foot should take the first step and then follow by the non-
dominant foot. For example right-left foot step then fast right- left foot steps then jump and hit the
ball.

6. Block :an action taken by players by standing or jumping at the front of the net to stop or alter an
opponent's attack. How to Block First a player should be in a ready position: bend knees and elbows,
and hands are raise in front of the face. The blocker should be alert and ready to run left or right the
moment the setter set the ball to the spiker. The blocker needs to jump straight with extended arms
and spread fingers.

Player Positions:

OUTSIDE HITTER

The outside hitter – also known as the left-side hitter – attacks from the left antenna and requires a
player with good jumping ability.

The outside hitter is often the focal point of the offense and completes most of the attack hits. They
must be able to adjust to sets coming from any location, as well as hit from the front and back rows.

On defense, they often receive the serve. Many outside hitters possess good back row skills and
remain in the game for all rotations. They also work with the middle hitter in blocking opponent’s
shots.

Responsibilities:

 Play in both the front and back row.

 Be the go-to hitter.
 One of the primary passers.
 Read the opponent’s defense and call out hitters.
 Block, often with the middle blocker.

OPPOSITE HITTER

This position – also known as the right-side hitter – plays near the right antenna. Opposite hitters tend
to be players who have the most versatility and can excel on both offense and defense. The opposite
hitter also needs to possess solid jumping skills.

Opposite hitters must be able to hit the ball from the front and back rows. They also need to be ready
to set the ball if the setter cannot do it. Defensively, they line up against the opponent’s outside hitter
and need to be able to work with the middle blocker on blocks.

Responsibilities:

 Act as a backup setter on offense.

 Attack the ball when receiving a set.
 Block opponent’s outside hitter.
 Work with the middle hitter on blocks.
 Dig for quick attacks.

SETTER
This position is essentially the quarterback or point guard of the team. A setter runs the team’s
offense. They aim to receive the second touch, setting it for an attacking player. Due to this
responsibility, they need to have strong communication skills as they direct the offense and make
quick decisions on the court.

A setter should be able to identify the opponent’s blockers and single out which one is the weakest.

Since they can play in either the front or back row, setters need to be ready to block, dig and receive a
serve on defense.

Responsibilities:

 Run the offense.

 Set the ball for teammates.
 Use a “dump shot” to keep opponents off balance.
 Be a vocal leader.
 Dig and block on defense.
 Identify blockers.

MIDDLE BLOCKER/HITTER

This spot is known as either the middle blocker or middle hitter. The team’s tallest athlete tends to
play here. Their additional height can help the player excel in this role.

On defense, the middle blocker blocks the center area of the net and has to be ready for the
opponent’s quick middle attacks. But they also need to move to either side to help teammates close
blocks with the opposite hitter and outside hitter.

On offense, they play near the setter to execute fast attacks. The middle hitter must be able to read the
setter and adjust their approach to get the most of their attack. They can also act as a decoy to help
confuse opponents and spread out their blockers.

Responsibilities:

 Read the opponent’s hitters to set up blocks.

 Block opponent’s shots.
 Use quick attacks on offense.
 Act as a decoy on offense.

LIBERO

This position focuses on defense. Liberos only play in the back row and often receive the attack or
serve. Players with good passing and defensive skills have the most success at this position.

However, liberos do play a key role on offense. They need to be able to turn the first touch into a
solid pass to the setter. They also may need to set the ball from the back row if the setter isn’t
available.

Liberos can come in and out of the game as needed and do not count against a team’s substitutions.
They also wear different colored jerseys to distinguish themselves from their teammates. But there
are several things a libero cannot do. They cannot block, set an attack from the front court or attack
the ball above the height of the net.

Responsibilities:

 Replace certain players in the back row.

 Be ready to dig an opponent’s attack.
 Receive the opponent’s serve.
 Set the ball if the setter isn’t available.
DEFENSIVE SPECIALIST

This is another spot that’s all about playing defense. Defensive specialists come in to replace a player
who may not have the right skills for the back row. Unlike the libero, defensive specialists must make
a substitution with the referees. Since teams may only have a certain number of substitutions
depending on their league rules, defensive specialists are limited to certain situations.

Another key difference between the libero and defensive specialists is that defensive specialists can
play any spot on the court. While a libero will sub out after rotating through the back row, a defensive
specialist can technically stay in and play the front row if needed.

Responsibilities:

 Replace certain players in the back row.

 Be ready to dig or pursue.
 Be ready to play in the front row if needed.
 Play as a back-row hitter.

Basic Volleyball Rules

 6 players on the floor at any one time - 3 in the front row and 3 in the back row
 Maximum of 3 hits per side
 Points are made on every serve for wining team of rally (rally-point scoring).
 Player may not hit the ball twice in succession. (A block is not considered a hit.)
 Ball may be played off the net during a volley and on a serve.
 A ball hitting a boundary line is in.
 A ball is out if it hits an antennae, the floor completely outside the court, any of the net or
cables outside the antennae, the referee stand or pole, the ceiling above a non-playable area.
 It is legal to contact the ball with any part of a player’s body.
 It is illegal to catch, hold or throw the ball.
 A player cannot block or attack a serve from on or inside the 10-foot line.
 After the serve, front-line players may switch positions at the net.
 Matches are made up of sets; the number depends on level of play. 3-set matches are 2 sets to
25 points and a third set to 15. Each set must be won by two points. The winner is the first
team to win 2 sets. 5-set matches are 4 sets to 25 points and fifth set to 15. The team must win
by 2 unless tournament rules dictate otherwise. The winner is the first team to win three sets.

Basic Volleyball Rule Violations

 When serving, the player steps on or across the service line as while making contact with the
ball.
 Failure to serve the ball over the net successfully.
 Ball-handling errors. Contacting the ball illegally (double touching, lifting, carrying,
throwing, etc.)
 Touching the net with any part of the body while the ball is in play.
 When blocking a ball coming from the opponent’s court, it’s illegal to contact the ball when
reaching over the net if both your opponent has not used 3 contacts AND they have a player
there to make a play on the ball.
 When attacking a ball coming from the opponent’s court, contacting the ball when reaching
over the net is a violation if the ball has not yet broken the vertical plane of the net.
 Crossing the court centerline with any part of your body is a violation. Exception: if it is the
hand or foot. In this case, the entire hand or entire foot must cross for it to be a violation.
 Serving out of rotation/order.
 Back-row player blocking (deflecting a ball coming from the opponent) when, at the moment
of contact, the back-row player is near the net and has part of his/her body above the top of
the net. This is an illegal block.
 Back-row player attacking a ball inside the front zone (the area inside the 3M/10-foot line)
when, at the moment of contact, the ball is completely above the net. This is an illegal attack.
